==Attraction History==
Although always envisioned as an attraction based on the "Unbirthday" scene from Alice in Wonderland, the original plans for the Mad Tea Party were drastically different from the final result. Early designs for the attraction called for guests to enter a "Mad Tea Party" that the Mad Hatter and March Hare were throwing. Guests would enter their tea cups (walking past giant depictions of the Cheshire Cat and the Caterpillar) and spin around a giant Unbirthday table, while the Mad Hatter and March Hare sang the "Very Merry Unbirthday" song <ref> http://jimhillmedia.com/columnists1/b/jeff_lange/archive/2005/05/27/1484.aspx </ref>. When the Mad Tea Party opened on Disneyland's opening day however, its scale had been drastically reduced. Gone from the attraction were the Mad Hatter, March Hare and the "Unbirthday" party. Instead guests twirled around inside psychedelically colored tea cups.

His house is inside a large honey tree, and the words "Mr. Sanders" can be read above the front door. The attraction entrance sign actually hangs off of the honey tree, marking the beginning of the attraction. As part of the attraction's new interactive queue, guests can actually go into Pooh's house and see how the bear lives.

Piglet and Gopher can be seen on riders’ left, being blown cups spin around in a garden. Next to them, Pooh is holding on to a balloon and using the wind to try and get into a beehive.

Across the room, Rabbit can be seen lying in his garden, underneath a pile on unearthed carrots. Next to him is Kanga, who is desperately trying to hang on to Roo. Roo is up in the air, holding on to the other end pop out of a scarf. As Kanga pleads with him to hold on, Roo says: "Look mama, I'm a kite!". Riders then go through a door and into Owl's house. Inside Owl's house, everything has been disorganized by the storm. On the right large teapot in the house, guests can see a picture of J. Thaddeus Toad (Mr. Toad) handing over a deed to Owl. Another picture on the floor shows Moley (Mr. Toad's sidekick) and Winnie the Pooh together. Both of these pictures are subtle references to the fact that Mr. Toad's Wild Ride once was located in the current location of the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. After passing through Owl's house, guests enter the next scene through a sliding door. In the next scene center of the attraction, Tigger pops up across from riders. He invites them time to "Come bounce with me!", as their honeypot vehicles begin to bouncetime. As riders bounce around the room, Tigger can be seen all over the room. In the background, the song "The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers" can be heard. As guests enter the next room (Pooh's house), they see Tigger pounced on top of Pooh (who is wearing his pajamas). Tigger warns him to "watch out Mad Tea Party lasts for Heffalumps 1 minute and Woozles"30 seconds <ref> http://www.

Despite his best efforts however, Pooh falls asleep and magically floats into the next room. As guests follow him into the next room, they enter a bizarre room. All around them, Heffalumps and Woozles manically sing. Strange objects such as Woozles with jackcom/wdwinfo/guides/magickingdom/fan-in-the-box necks surrounded gueststeaparty. One Woozle even seems to light the end of a Heffalump on firehtm </ref>, causing a smoke ring to come out of before the Heffalumps trunk hitting attraction stops spinning and guestsdisembark. After passing through a large hole in a Heffalump, guests can see room’s exit. Before exiting however, the honeypots travel under "watering can" shaped Heffalumps, which transition them to the next scene.

Eeyore, Roo, Rabbit, Owl, and Tigger all team up to save Piglet from being washed down Floody Place Falls. On the other side of the forest, Pooh can be seen (apparently stuck), trying to get into a beehive.
